Inspired by the Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi film, [Cargo Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-goose-x-pyer-moss) released the 'Cargo x Star Wars Nail Polish Kit,' featuring four shades that represent the division between light and dark forces.

The nail polish products are offered in shades like Restore the Republic, Praetorian Guard, The Force and Rule the [Galaxy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-watch-feature), each of which boasts a quick-drying, high-gloss and chip-resistant formula that is free of formaldehyde.

As well as celebrating the release of the newest Star Wars films with this [sci-fi-themed nail polish kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-x-wicked), Cargo Cosmetics also launched eyeshadow palettes, mascara and collectible compact mirrors featuring the faces of well-known characters from the franchise. In order to appeal to a new generation of fans, as well as old ones who grew up watching the original movies, a number of brands are creating sophisticated collectibles outside of toys.
